I'm really impressed that you did this video. Not long ago I was helping a young lad install our 25KW compressor and to check we had all three phases he whipped out what can only be described as a death-trap of a multimeter. It looked like something you'd buy at a discount store.
Maybe you should do a video on what happens to the hand of an operator when a low safety rating meter explodes.

Dave Jones at EEV Blog did a video on that

Fun stuff Ben! Hope to see more field trips like this! =D
8:00 in the US 3 phase is probably not run to residential areas, however in the Netherlands as far as I know every house is connected to a 3 phase cable.
Most houses have just 1 phase connected though, but the option is there.
+Erik Bruijn i have seen many people plugged on 208V where i live. Most of the time its for small apartments.
They only drawback is that it takes ages to get the oven at temperature i guess
Amazing Equipments!
Great video and awesome hardware.
Nice video Ben! Good explanation.
the arc flash event smoke cloud.... WAS RAINING FIRE!!! :O
Us Americans sure are behind on our power systems with most houses running 120 or 240 volt single phase. Where I live we run on 240 single phase for most of the equipment. Welder, lathe, air compressor, etc. However, the milling machine is 380 volt 3 phase and to get it working properly required one of those "phase converter" devices. At first we thought a dummy electric motor was going to be needed to generate the 3rd phase but thankfully the amp draw of the mill's 3 phase motor is low enough it wasn't needed.
Yes, where I live we have a shop with a lathe and mill. No 3D milling machines but still has allowed me to make a few specialized devices. It's like a workshop from the 50s with newer non computerized equipment. Grandfather hates computers. When computers do get involved I'm the one who has to deal with the project as the resident "computer expert". Guess it fits since my PC system is hacked together from various pieces that include 2 laptops, LVDS drivers for laptop LCD displays, leftover desktop monitors, 2005 era APC UPS meant for a server, and a shitload of USB crap.
Actually Never seen this kind of extreme effects before .
That whip experiment was so intense, I wonder how much power it took to do that. Definitely not a few kW's :D
Cheers, always great seeing stuff blown up :-) Don't EATON power do much higher power stuff though?
Eaton also makes awesome electrical differential lockers for 4x4 vehicles!!
I love all your videos, but it would be nice if they were organized into playlists.
hi. I would like to ask you something.
do you think is possible to improve cheap vinyl records players modifying some electronics parts? thanks
Thanks Ben.
I might have this wrong. But Tom said what caused the light to blow was a 3000 Amp surge. The bulbs already drawing the maximum current it needs at what ever voltage its on. Wouldn't it be better to state the voltage of the surge?
Ben I wanna know what you think about the tooli printer??? thanks
Really interresting
Hi Ben I have recently found your channel, and I have lately been into to full motion simulators, are you able to build a full motion Sim for PS4
This kinda makes me want to disassemble my surge protector to see what those "discs" look like and learn what they're composed of.
Did the light-bulb demo use incandescent or modern light bulbs?
More essentials, please.
Why didn't they put the light bulb surge at the beginning and the explosions at the end? lol. Nice video.
We have 3 phases here in Denmark, many oven or washing machines use it.
Did you mean to say Saint Lewis or should it be St. Louis?
St. Louis, MO?
I guess that shows you can never be to safe unless you use the right stuff. If i may can I suggest a future topic for a video? I would like to see you make some monitors just using laptops screens, in case others have some lying around you can make them handle all types of inputs.
Good video to watch, just want to comment that the 'The Ben Heck Show' logo, in the lower right corner occasionally overlaps the text bubble pop-ups, making the end of the lines unreadable, unless you turn off Annotations in the TH-cam player. Example, at about 9:00. Easy enough to fix, just make your pop-ups a little shorter.
Damn that element14 advert in the middle's music is abrasive...
I copper plated my thumb from a vaporizing test lead. Luckily, the damage was very minimal.
im mad at Benjamin! Eaton is 10 minutes from my home and he didn't stop by for a beer!
You could be a little more clear about how bought this videos was. It's good to have your devices safe but the product placement was a bit too obvious.
st Louis is the bomb
You put elemtn14 in the description.
I expected: bleeder resistors, varistors, optocouplers, thermistors, fuses, suppression diodes, etc...
I got: industrial power protection.
This video is essentially about hiring a bouncer to keep people from getting too close to your circuit, and while that would certainly protect the circuit, in a way, its not really what I think about when I think of circuit protection.
Ben, it's a bit disappointing to see you only expect US viewers. Unlike the US here in West Europe (Netherlands) we have a more efficient network with 3-fase to almost every home. Not all houses have it connected beyond the master fuse but it's there. It's for example widely used to run ceramic or induction cooking plates. So it's pretty easy to come across.
Ben, Can you try to build a portable GameCube?
you should have brought photoninduction there
photonicinduction needs to go there
you can get three phase electricity where I live (but its way more expensive)
I live in Finland and we get three phases. I actually have never seen less than three phase connections irl.
+parasBanaani Here in Germany you always get three phase 230/400v. I'm an electrician and have only once seen a very old house with just one phase.
+parasBanaani exactly same here in Germany. in fact, your average kitchen cooker runs on three phase
+vaxbuster we have 230v per phase (400v inbetween phases) and each home usually has a 60A fuse per phase. regular breakers are 16A resulting in 3.5kW you can pull from a regular socket. and if you don't believe me, I can take a picture of our post-power meter main fuses (there is one for each phase)
+vaxbuster there are 3
i work at eaton (netherlands) and i thought we only did big stuff
lol the more you know?
Very interesting, but I hate(and mistrust) the repeated use of flash to white scene changes.
In Germany every home has a three phase supply in the kitchen.. It's used for the stove/oven. Don't you have that in the USA? How do you provide enough energy for the oven? oO I think US homes also have three phase supplies and Ben doesn't know it, because he's never seen a kitchen from the inside. :D :P
USA residential is generally 240V center-tapped to make two 120V legs (often incorrectly called "phases" by people here). Using both legs = 240V for driers, heaters and stoves, although all three of those things are also commonly run on gas, which means only 120V needed for pilot lights, etc.
I know this is really late, but I'm an electrician, and figured someone in the future might need to know this info!
Kind of seemed like a promo for eaton, but I've had good experience with them on their I.T side. Send me a 5P1000 UPS to review, with network card, software, etc. I think retail for entire thing would run like $800-1000 USD.
please dont show only advertisment, explain more, e.g. whats a surge... hows it defined, what causes it....
Ben, you misspelled Saint Louis.
+Bill Brown D:
+The Ben Heck Show What does KB stand for?
+Anonymous Cloud Kilo byte
Creeper 123 Are you sure they said it was a medium of voltage and kilobytes is a measurement of memory storage.
+Anonymous Cloud That's KV as in Kilo-volts
The sixth!
"3 phase isnt run to residential" WTF? my whole country runs on 3 phase, my house is the only one in 2sqr/km still running mono phase and i feel like i am living in 80th for that... in US you all run mono phase? damn...
*****
nice, here everything (washing machines, electrical heating, electric motors...) is 3 phase 240V... you can barely find 2 phase device and even i am using 2 phase devices i cant put like stove, heater and water heater at once, they will all under perform (since i am running all of them on single phase) if i install 3 phase i would be able to... so that i can have electricity the electrical engineers took one phase from the 3 phase line and one solid ground...
*****
220V sorry miss typed... i live in Macedonia... as i know all over EU is same as here...
its 220V line to neutral at my place i dont know how it is on the 3 phase line tho...
*****
yeah i know its strange :( electrical engineers installed the electricity in my house, i dont have problems at all (for now) :)
+IamIUareU US is primarily single phase, although i'd call it two phase, but that don't exist that I know of. We have two hot 120 lines and a neutral. If you want 240V you have to link the two 120 hot lines as they are out of phase so when one is high the other is low. I don't know for sure, but I think if you want 3 phase you also need another pole pig, but that could be something strange like a high leg setup.
I knew someone owned a bakery for a time, had some industrial coffy machine that took 220. Building had proper outlet, but he plugged it in it blew the machine up. I guess he called someone in and they were like this is a high leg delta you only need 220 single phase.
+Morpheus Stark I don't know it blew the entire unit, he said it fried some sort of control/motherboard thing which is probably more sensitive than a heater. Possible it was full of cheap caps too and they went a little beyond the limit and blew. I can't imagine a plug like that being interchangeable as usually even stuff with something that has a ground and something with just a neutral have different plugs. Possible it was a bad setup or because was older building they had just retro fit something to do something else.
3 phase is normal in europe to have in the house.
+FoxMccloud42 Doesn't most of Europe also not have a ground prong? That's what I saw when I visited, always wondered if you guys have some way around it.
+crazygermn We do. All sockets provide a ground connection but they vary from country to country.
Thanks, I saw the two prong sockets and I guess always assumed ground had to have its own connection.
+crazygermn Most of Europe uses what is known as "Schuko type F", it has two prongs, but the earth connection is on the side. The slim version is known as "Europlug", and is lacks earth connection, but it's for isolated (full plastic case for example) devices only.
LOL In Germany having only 1 phase instead of 3 phase power in a house is considered a total failure. Operating an entire house on 1 phase power? LOL. Having 3 phases coming into your home is so much better... you can hook up your heating system to one phase and therefore protect it from "stupid shit" happening on the other phases etc.
:Tumbs Up: Finally an informative Video without the cheesy acting.
st Louis is the bamb
First !
I bet that could charge your phone up
Three Phase Master Race. If you only have single phase, then you are a filthy scrub.
Wowtomnothinghappened.webm
Someone make it happen :D
This was interesting, but not what I would call "essential"
second
That was generally interesting, but not for the hobbyist
Interesting, but loose the protection on your head. Looks dumb, next to a serious subject.
This channel is not what it used to be.
